Israel, much like the fortress of Tel-Chai that Jospeh Trumpeldor fought to defend against Arab conquerors in 1920, finds itself beseiged by enemies both within and without. Terrorists, would-be friends inside and outside Israel, and even bad government officials. Here are the discussions of one proud Zionist resident on the state of the nation and abroad.

Italian Muslim convert says beheading is in accordance with Koran's justifications of death

The Local (via Jihad Watch) says that an Italian convert to Islam told Corriere della Sera that when Muslims commit executions, it's just obeying sharia:

In a chilling interview over Skype, a 28-year-old Italian woman who joined the ranks of Isis last year told Corriere della Sera that the Islamic State is a “perfect country” and when the group beheads people, it is simply obeying Sharia Law.

Maria Giulia Sergio, who changed her name to Fatima Az Zahara after converting to Islam, left for Syria with her Albanian husband, Aldo Kobuzi, just days after marrying him last September.

Kobuzi was immediately dispatched to an Isis training camp while Sergio was given weapons training.

The story came to light again last week after her parents and sister, also Muslim converts, as well as five members of Kobuz’s family, were arrested as part of Italy’s anti-terrorism sweep.

In the recording below, Sergio begins by asking after her family, adding that she had tried to persuade her parents to join the Islamic State, because “they could have a good life here”.

A bad connection meant reporters at Corriere were unable to see Sergio’s face, but they recognized her voice thanks to wiretaps captured by Digos, Italy’s anti-terror police squad, during its investigation.

Sergio, who sent messages to friends celebrating the deadly January attack on the French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo continues by justifying the brutal killings carried out by the extremist group.

“When we behead someone, we’re obeying Sharia Law,” she said.

A former student at the University of Milan, she described the Islamic State – where women have been raped and forced into sexual slavery – as the “perfect country”, where people respect human rights.

“Those who [go against human rights] are those who do not follow Allah’s rules.”
